Does the Melo 3 tank use a 510 size drip tip? .. is the question.
Yes .. is the answer, I suspect.

Happy Days. :) Nearly all tanks use the standard 510 size, but now and again you get one that you want to throw at a wall in frustration because it is not quite right.

Order a drip tip from somewhere or use one lying around.
If you don't have one, see if you can get one from a shop or a fast delivery option with some liquids or atomizer coils.

Right such as the Goblin Mini.

I have no idea about mythical creatures. :confused:

Now, a Merlin is a bird found in the northern hemisphere or curiously also the name of a famous Wizard, and Wizards must also be myth too.

However, the Merlin takes cheap and nasty drip tips straight from the cheap and nasty drip tip aisle of the Eleaf store.

I cannot find the Eleaf store other than in cyber space, which is another thread altogether.

I am confused. Too much Turkey and best English Ale has ruined my logic. :unsure:

I have received today my eleaf pico and I accidentally broke the drip tip.
Can anyone tell me what should I do?
I mean I'm not going to buy a new tank just for the drip.
I saw that GearBest selling cheap plastic tip drips but how can I know if they fit into my melo 3 tank

Welcome and glad you joined. Could call Eleaf and ask about the size of the drip tip:
https://www.eleafus.com/istick-30w.html --factory rep.--- 1 855-569-3168
Or any supplier/vendor of Eleaf.

Sure looks like a plain old 510 DT to me. You can throw whatever 510 you want on it

Any standard (510) drip tip should fit. It might be a bit tight or a bit loose because these things are mass produced. Also, you can change how a tank vapes by the type of tip you use. Longer=cooler ... narrow=tighter draw ... shorter=hotter ... fins=cooler ... metal? glass? plastic? ... etc.

I had to look at several reviews to verify, but I finally did find one review that said... It has a standard 510 drip tip. The one that comes with it has a delrin lined drip tip that has two o-rings. There have been a few standards that have evolved with Ecigs, and the size of the drip tip is one of them. That doesn't mean that all drip tips are standard, but if it says "standard 510 drip tip", then it refers to a specific diameter and overall length of the drip tip. Eleaf calls the drip tip a mouthpiece.

Now, You can find a plethora of 510 drip tips in all shapes, sizes, colors, and materials. They all SHOULD fit, but you'll occasionally run into one that is just a slight bit looser, or tighter. Since the price of the drip tips are so small, I wouldn't worry about it.. just buy one and see how well they fit. The Melo 3 tank comes with one with a delrin inside to help seperate the heat from the tip, but I haven't found the need to go to extremes on a tank, since the tank doesn't get as hot as a very low ohm dripper. The Delrin is not as strong as a stainless steel. I do prefer two O-rings, since it helps keep the drip tip from wobbling.

My prefered drip tip is one that came with a kanger subtank. Even though it has only one O-ring, the inside bore is bigger and doesn't restrict it. The whole thing is metal, and I've never had one break or bend. It's tall enough to where it doesn't seem like I'm sucking straight from the atomizer. I bought a few five packs, so I'm good on drip tips for a long long time.

Since drip tips are more of a personal preference, I recommend you go to a local vape shop and see what they have to offer.
